Message to the Force #2
SUBJECT: Ethical Fitness and Status of Discipline
1. Since the release of National Guard Bureau’s Office of Complex Investigations (OCI)
report and, more recently, that of Governor Walker’s independent investigator retired
Judge Patricia Collins, the Alaska National Guard has zealously sought justice and
reforms to ensure good order and discipline within our force. Those among us who behave
contrary to law and regulation sully our ranks and impugn our good name. Taking adverse
action in these cases is a necessary component of preserving fitness in our organization.
2. Below is a review of recent personnel actions resulting from external investigations and
completed for the purpose of standards enforcement. Other cases are pending.
Retired. State and Federal LOMs
